The four volumes of John Clare's poetry that were published during
his tragic life were so brutally edited, and sometimes even
wilfully censored for political reasons that his work invited
mainly curiosity and condescension from the literary world. Now
that readers have a chance to re-evaluate Clare's poetry, the
"peasant poet", "illiterate", "quaint" and "rustic" is emerging as
a radical thinker and writer. John Lucas's unique volume reveals a
knowing and articulate poet writing as an essentially oral artist -
out of a subtle tradition of song as much as of poetry. Lucas
champions Clare's art in a vital and fascinating book which tells
of the collision between the cultural orthodoxy of print and the
poet whose work was demeaned and damaged by the forces of the
literary establishment.
